Read EvaluationPaul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Young was a top performer at the National Preps Showcase earlier last month, and recently picked up his first P4 offer from Arizona. He is a very strong receiver with natural hands, good tracking abilities over the top and is a precise route runner with patience and possesses the ideal downfield separation with return abilities as well. He shows he can effectively run in-breaking and out-breaking routes, win on 50-50 balls downfield and has a big catch radius. With the ball in his hands, he’s a physical runner that can make defenders miss in the open field and has lateral agility and short area quickness in tight spaces. Look for Young to be one of the top playmakers across Southern California this Fall and is a name to note along with the rest of the top uncommitted prospects across the region.

Young is a strong route runner who was catching everything near him. He changes direction smoothly and was good against press coverage and when he had a cushion. Young has transferred to Western.
